Sorry for necroposting, but i have to comment on this one. I grew up in a baptist church and this is not to far off for the truth, when the church was deciding were to adopt the 1879 or 1915 doctrine. Part of that doctrine is about whether or not you fully submerge underwater during baptism or whether just spraying water is ok. Part of the church thought is was "commanded by god" to do full immersion, and anything else was hericy. They browbeat, put down, and even harassed the congregation over several months. They called people at 2am, spread rumors accusing people being "sexually immoral" or drunks or theves stealing from the church, it got so bad that families split apart. All this over how much water is on your head. I guess i shouldnt be suprised when the bible study group was called the "sinless saints of perfection."
